Request for the addition of the DirectStorage headers (dstorage.h/dstorageerr.h).

Open benvanik opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

It'd be great if the DirectStorage API headers were included in this repository and under the same license. Today they seem to only be available via nuget and the headers themselves aren't listed in distributable_files.txt so using them from git submodule dependencies (vs needing to use nuget) is tricky.

Specifically native/include/dstorage.h and native/include/dstorageerr.h from https://nuget.info/packages/Microsoft.Direct3D.DirectStorage/1.2.2

Hi! The header files included in that package are licensed under the MIT license, as described by LICENSE-CODE.txt and the text at the beginning of those files. This was explicitly set up this way to allow you to check the headers into source control.

The distributable_files.txt refers to the executable, binary code, that are covered by LICENSE.txt.

Oh, neat! I hadn't noticed LICENSE-CODE.txt as covering those. Would still be cool to have them here so there's a one-stop submodule for users but this at least makes it easier to have our own submodule containing them.
